Greetings fellow cultists, here's an assload of news:

1) New song '49 Angeli Boni' online at Reverbnation and MySpace. Not related to Aarni's third album-in-process Lovecraftian in any way; rather this new tune represents a momentary relief from all the hard, almost religious work we have lately engaged ourselves in with the afore-mentioned album.

The lyrics of this short song simply recite the (proto-Enochian) names of all the 49 "good angels" from Dr John Dee's De Heptarchia Mystica. The angels in question are those of the seven classical planets and related days of the week plus their planetary hours, with each planet/day featuring a set of seven angels whose names are composed of seven letters.
To underline all this emphasis on the number seven, the song's chord progression rotates around seven descending chords, while the organ plays an ascending pattern of seven notes with seven variations. And the breaks between the seven verses are made of - you guessed it - seven notes. The whole ditty is in 7/4 time with a tempo of 149 BPM and employs a whole step scale, which famously has...seven notes.   

All of this makes for pretty repetitive music and we have intended the song more as a tool for getting in the mood when practising Heptarchic/Enochian magick than as your typical soundtrack for boozing...
As always a lyrics page for the song will appear on the Aarni webshite in the near future.

2) Our label tells us the near-mythical Aarni T-shirts shall be made available during April. Thanks to all of you who have expressed an interest in this ineffable vestment! More news once the actual garments manifest.

3) I recently made four "elemental ads" plus a pentagram pseudo-logo for Aarni for no good reason. Maybe you'll find some use for these pics. High resolution versions of them can be found on the Gallery page of the band's webshite, while lo-res versions have been posted to sites such as MySpace, LastFM etc.   

4) If you should so wish, you can now follow our studio-related and other bizarre practices also on Twitter.   

Cheerio,
